The French army launched a tender in 2014 in order to evaluate and then choose a rifle to replace the Famas.
101.000 new assault rifles are planned to be bought over the coming years. The deal and the first order are planned for this year.

I like the VHS-2 because it is a bulpup like the FAMAS, it would be easier for troops transition over to it without having to make too many adjustments. Bulpups are also better for CQB so it has that advantage as well. I do not know much about the rifle and its reliability but I am sure trials will sort out which rifle is the most reliable.

"Operations conducted in the Middle East and Africa have proven that the design works in real-world combat scenarios.”

“By all accounts, the VHS rifle is well liked by Croatian soldiers and civilian shooters in European nations that allow ownership of select-fire rifles.”
